Early this morning (on the East Coast of the United States) I photographed a celestial phenomenon I likely won’t see again in my lifetime: a total lunar eclipse coinciding with the Winter Solstice. According to NASA, the previous such eclipse took place back in 1638 (with no record of any other one in the past 2000 years), and the next one will occur in 2094. I expect to see many more total lunar eclipses, but barring a breakthrough in medical science, never again on the longest night of the year.
